Kyle, I shared the resources featuring men working thru their problems. There was less resistance!! Progress is moving along. I have endless confidence in the present and future generations they are gonna be so great. Little breakthrough here: sparkling vitamin water replaced beer. Therapy replaced the grief where the thought becomes a bahavoir. Like Dr Judy says do the opposite of my sadder mood.

Love working at home. It's a blessing 🙌🙏✨😌❤. We don't talk enough about how toxic some workplaces are. I hated office politics , office favoritism, gossips, rumors, office clicks.....now that I work at home you don't have to deal with any of that. I also work for company that does meetings phone calls and no videos. ( thank god). 😊 Also no longer being in stuck in traffic through out day , being home , being around my own environment, pets, using my own restroom, setting my schedule , etc all are things that ACTUALLY give peace of mind and gives us less stress in our lives. Yes I know some people do not prefer this but some introverts are thriving and happy during this time.....while extroverts may be taking this very hard . However I agree with Dr Ramani. Social skills is a muscle we need keep practicing and we introverts need keep exercising this muscle 💪😌💕

[@breakingpoint3893]

Thank you for saying that, it's as if the vaccine made some people forget about the struggle some of us went through... my family refuses to acknowledge my struggle during covid, I ended up on. Suicide watch for almost a month at the hospital, and neither of my parents cared. I wish I could stop caring for them like they do about me.... my mom is great at shifting the blame on to me over everything. I just never realize it until after I'm done talking to her.

COVID19 almost killed me mentally.... I still don't know if I'll ever be the same.... people are meaner and the lack of concern for other people's well being just hurts.... I would feel so bad if anyone got this disease if I didn't do my part.....I don't know why people can't just do what is needed to get past this pandemic. It's so disappointing

[@TheDJLionman]

whats dissapointing is how weak and stupid the average human is, you are talking about doing "whats needed" like you or anyone knows the correct actions to take with certainty trying to generalize the path that each human should take through life is disgusting and untill people learn bounderies there will be constant tormoil the problem with the world is that people dont know how to mind there own business, its pretty obvious you wanna preach but you dont have the balls to speak in plain terms.

[@kwpp7]

What if YOU are the person showing a lack of concern for others by demanding they conform to what makes you more comfortable? What about members of the Deaf community who have been ostracized because they need to lip read to communicate and they can't when everyone's wearing masks? What about children with disabilities who couldn't handle wearing masks? What about people like me with a history of heart problems who are uncomfortable with getting an experimental injection with a high incidence of triggering myocarditis and other heart issues? Check yourself before you demonize the "other side".

[@bzabc123]

People have definitely become more aggressive in recent years. I think everyone is scared, but of different things, and it manifests in different ways...some on the offense, some on the defense. But you're right, it sure would be nice to see people be kinder to one another. But there are lots of caring compassionate ones out there too...they are the ones to look for and appreciate. 😊 💜

[@Macabresque]

I relate to this so much. It's incredibly frustrating. And then people immediately went and proved your point for you by replying in various shitty ways. The pandemic has really opened my eyes to just how many ignorant, selfish people there are out there. I appreciate your vulnerability on the Internet, there's a lot of assholes on here.

Anxiety... I have really found myself suffering more and more from mental health issues during this pandemic in every way. Not having a calm, clear, non-politically motivated message coming from our country's leaders makes matters so much worse.

[@musiclist5566]

Tell yourself a different story WOW this really helped me. I was beating myself up over a personal mistake and realized I was telling myself the wrong story which was causing fear and anxiety. I'm switching the story now and instead of beating myself up I'm realizing it was a learning experience that will help me make healthier choices in the future. I am forgiven, I am loved, I am accepted for ALL of me when I'm on the mountain and when I'm in the valley. I am protected and loved.

[@christinat4689]

I felt like the walls were closing in on me. A few days into the thick of quarantine I was begging my husband to take a drive with me. Beaches / parks it was all closed , there was nothing open to sit and just be. I felt like I was suffocating. The pandemic and lock down has made me feel awful for the people in solitary and jail in general.

[@elizajohn5]

Before covid i used to love going to my local bar on friday and saturday nights for a few beers and chatting my friends. Now though all restrictions are lifted i feel i cannot motivate myself to go back. Covid though i didn`t get it wore me down mentally. Since last year i have been suffering severe anxiety and depression on and off. I feel a completely different person. Best of luck to everyone who are finding it difficult right now!

[@Cutest1TheGame]

I have social anxiety (undiagnosed) and I recognize these symptoms. What I took from this that I didn’t know before was 1) social anxiety is about fear of social scrutiny (and it definitely feels this way!) and 2) being social is a muscle and this muscle has to be exercised in order to get stronger / stay strong.

[@KoolT]

We're are learning so much from you. Thank you very much.

[@pacather]

Have you guys thought about developing a PTSD prevention/treatment program for frontline health care workers who have been dealing with Covid? It's probably the #1 reason why so many of them are leaving the bedside. These are people who are used to sickness and death...only they've never seen so many people get this sick and die for as long as they have. I don't think this issue is being appreciated and it certainly needs to be dealt with. We need these people to care for all of us and we don't need them to become long term psychiatric casualties, like war veterans. Let's deal with the problem now. Just some thoughts from a retired nurse.

[@moonhunter9993]

I have PTSD due to domestic violence and have some degree of claustrophobia where I just have to get out of the house and go for a walk (even in the middle of the night sometimes). When the first lockdown with curfews came, I was quite worried that I wouldn't be able to cope. As you could get arrested if you walked/travelled after hours without permit, it really wasn't an option. I was quite uncomfortable at first. But strangely, as all choice was taken away, i just learned to accept it and the desire to "escape" my flat went away over time.

[@marleymae6746]

I can relate.

[@amandabass9712]

I was in my element when covid occurred. I've been withdrawing from society the more I've been dealing with the dishonest and toxic people surrounding me. Not everyone, but if those 10,000 plus people I interacted with daily on campus (school has around 40,000 students and I had at least 4 classes in person around campus and then I was also in a few clubs/organizations, including leadership). So I started withdrawing from that. So when covid happened, and a decent number of social people were freaking out, I was perfectly in line with my element. I had three months food and personal storage and so I wasn't freaking out about that. I managed to acclimate to online learning better than some of the face to face instructors, and so life was really fine during that time. And then I liked the mask. I felt less concerned about my smile, which I am self conscious about. As far a social interactions, I have different parameters about that anyway. Having Asperger's, I interact differently anyway, but am capable of masking but do less of that because it causes it internalized anxiety.

COVID was awesome. Everyone left me alone, finally got something done.

[@breakingpoint3893]

It does with the vaccine.... just be careful who you let in..... I need to be more mindful of that

[@jennifercuddy5663]

@@breakingpoint3893 The isolation is worse due to not wanting to be around people who seem to have lost their minds. I’ve had relationships that have sadly fallen apart due to disinformation and social media driven manipulation of people’s emotions. It’s almost like they died or at the least their personalities changed to the point I no longer recognize them. And they become very aggressive when I try and counter what they have come to believe, even to the point of becoming uncharacteristically vulgar.

Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by surprise, unexpectantly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death. While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the WW1, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes. Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way. It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......

For someone with social anxiety - working from home made it life so much easier. I got used to zoom meetings and I am really unphotogenic but I just don't care about that anymore. However irl - there would be so much awkward social things happening at the office, during lunch breaks, shouting and noise. Daily meetings made me always uncomfortable because we had to stand around a board and due to some past issues it always felt like someone was staring at my legs and butt. That most probably was never the case but I felt much more socially anxious irl, plus just chatting via Teams currently is also much more comfy for me. And am terrified of going back to office now lol

[@moonhunter9993]

Dr Kristy Lamb made the most sense when it came to management. You have to find that balance or middle ground between compassion and "reaching" for achievable actions. No pushing hard. That eventually backfires. The advice from Dr Judy Ho was just a bit far removed from reality and what was/is going on during covid. Do your hobbies? I neither had money nor time to do anything but fight for survival and putting food on the table every day. I had to start a new business from scratch while still trying to make the little i could from the business that collapsed due to the lockdowns. I worked through many a night (and still am)...

[@binnins1982]

Thank you so much for coving these topics. I dont think they have been memtioned enough during this pandemic. As someone who deals with anxiety, c-ptsd,adhd, anxiety and panic attacks and has a history of severe childhood asthma attacks(part of where the ptsd comes from) this pandemic has been like a horror movie version of Groundhog Day. How ever had this not happened i may never have found out where the ptsd came from since i have no memory of the events or of most of my life(up to about age 25, im 39 now) Im scared to death of the ppe(not the virus) and the sensation of not being able to breathe.

Hi, I just found this video, and saw the comments. Yes!! I had recovered from a severe anxiety disorder about a decade ago, which included panic attacks and agoraphobia. I felt I'd finally found a "normal" existence. During this pandemic I settled into being homebound quite well. I wasn't aware how comfortable I had gotten until I realized I had to "get back out there." It's been rough. The panic attacks are back, as is the tendency to want to hide out. But thankfully I have found some amazing resources, including MedCircle, that have helped me cope. I'm not as hard on myself this time around about the struggles, and I think that has made a huge difference.

We already had anxiety and depression and COVID has made it explode.
